Kelly McKernan: AI and the Fight for Artists Rights- Ep. 290

This week I speak with fine artist and illustrator Kelly McKernan! We talk about a LOT of different topics including their schooling, photography, teaching, creating a comic book for Evanescence, their perspective on NFTs and especially: AI! Kelly McKernan is one of the three plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against Stability AI, Midjourney, and DeviantArt for copyright infringement. We also both complain a bit about how difficult it is to make a living as independent artists and a lot more! Really great and fun conversation!

Also, a quick art life update.
